Baby Nursery Decor Ideas for a Fabulous Nursery

Our practical nursery decor ideas will help make your newborn's homecoming a wonderful experience.

Use a theme and colors that your baby can grow into.

Instead of pale pink or blue, choose a color to paint the room that will work
for a toddler or preschool aged child. Consider adding personalized baby wall art to decorate the bare walls.

Purchase furniture that serves double duty.

You can get a changing table that turns over to become a dresser. Purchase a
crib that converts to a day bed. This can save you money when it is time to
convert to a toddler room.

Plan for extra storage space.

Give yourself more storage space than you think you will need. You will use it. Look for shelves that accent your baby nursery decor in addition to keeping the room organized.

Have a comfortable place for your newborn to sleep.

During your newborn's first month, she or he have the option of sleeping in a mosses basket when not in the crib. Consider patterns that coordinate with your baby room nursery decor.

Don't forget to have some soft lighting over the changing table.

Using soft lighting will calm the baby and won't irritate their sensitive eyes.

Plan carefully where to place the crib.

If possible, don't place the crib right next to a window where winds or sun
rays could harm the baby. Also try to keep the crib away from heating or cooling
vents.
